Opuntia cycloides-Hardy Prickly Pear
After twenty years of passing by this beautiful cactus, some 6 by 10 feet by now ... I finally asked the owner to take some cuttings.
It is hardy in Zone 7 Sequim, WA. But relishes our dry winters. Sequim, only gets some 15 inches of rainfall a year and happens to be in a mild climate zone. Rarely do we drop down to 10. F. Adding 6 inches of coarse gravel to the potting area would be a good thing to do. Plant under an overhang, facing south. Great protective landscape plant to put under opening windows.
